No need to assign an address to a link unless you want to assign a prefix to it. And you obviously don't want to do that for the link you received the IA_PD from, which is why it isn't allowed. There is also the weird 3GPP solution, where you put a /64 hole in the IA_PD and assign that /64 prefix to the link. Ref RFC 6603 and 3GPP TS 23.401. Don't know if that's supported outside the mobile world. It's butt ugly in any case.
